On arrival
Customers can easily find the tour starting point at the entrance to Company's Garden near Parliament of South Africa in the city centre.
If arriving by car, guests can use GPS and set their destination to “Company’s Garden, Cape Town,” with nearby parking available along Government Avenue and surrounding streets. For those using public transport, the area is accessible via MyCiTi bus routes stopping in central Cape Town, just a short walk from the gardens.
From St George's Cathedral, it’s only a 2–3 minute walk toward the Parliament side of the garden. Once at the entrance, guests should look out for the guide, who will be clearly visible and ready to welcome the group.
For ease, it’s recommended to arrive 10–15 minutes early to ensure a smooth check-in before the tour begins.
Things to note
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water, sunscreen, and a hat, especially on sunny days. The tour takes place outdoors and runs in most weather conditions, so a light jacket is recommended in cooler or windy weather.
